Fuller, Heather From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 13 March 2013 15:32 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Electoral Review of Milton Keynes From: Lisa Courtney Sent: 13 March 2013 14:13 To: Reviews@ Subject: Electoral Review of Milton Keynes I write on behalf of Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council regarding the draft recommendations and consultation of the electoral review of Milton Keynes. Please accept this email as the formal response from the Town Council. Following our Full Council meeting on 29.01.13 – Minute Ref FC011‐13 refers, Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council (BFSTC) makes the following response: 1. That we are disappointed that the Town Council’s previous comments have not been considered. BFSTC previously suggested that the ward boundary of Bletchley and Fenny Stratford emulates that of the Town Council boundary (except that currently already known as Eaton Manor). 2. BFSTC does not support the proposed ward of Bletchley Park which splits the current Central Bletchley (parish boundary) in half. In the proposals part of Central Bletchley which is a geographically clearly defined area, is within Bletchley Park and the balance is in the proposed ward of Bletchley East. All of the geographical area (and parish boundary) known as Central Bletchley should be retained within one ward, being Bletchley East.

Thank you for sending us full details of your draft proposals for revised ward boundaries for Milton Keynes. Bradwell Parish Council is disappointed that its area is being split between two proposed wards, and would welcome a revision which would incorporate all of Bradwell Parish within one single Milton Keynes Council ward. However, this council understands the constraints caused by the requirement to have 19 three member wards, and we have considered the wider view as our parish must necessarily be incorporated with other areas. In this context, we feel that there is much to commend your alternative proposals set out in paragraph numbers 144 to 148 of your draft recommendations. We feel that the revised ward you suggest in paragraph 146 would be somewhat preferable to your main recommendations. This area has good communication links and broadly similar structures and populations. We would prefer the name of the ward suggested in paragraph to be “Linford South and Bradwell Common,” the existing borough ward for much of this area being called “Linford South” now. Regards, Harold Atkins Parish clerk, Bradwell Parish Council 1 Review Officer (Milton Keynes) Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG 13th March 2013 Dear Sirs ELECTORAL REVIEW OF MILTON KEYNES: DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS Campbell Park Parish Council considered the draft proposals for new local government and parish council wards in Milton Keynes at its meeting on the 19th February 2013. It made the following comments 1: It noted the correspondence between Dominic Warner, the Clerk to Council, Pamela Loose of Milton Keynes Council and Jessica Metheringham of the Local Government Boundaries Commission, which identified an error in the information supplied to the Commission by Milton Keynes Council, and which therefore led to a mistaken recommendation for Parish wards and numbers in the draft report. It further noted the promise by the Commission to rectify this error in the final report, and wished to confirm that it would want to continue with the existing wards boundaries, number of councillors and ward names as they are at present. 2. It noted that, whilst a Parish Boundary Review concluding in 2011 had confirmed the Parish in its present boundaries, and recognised it as a coherent and sensible community, it was split between four of the new proposed wards (Central Milton Keynes, Woughton and Fishermead, Campbell Park and Old Woughton, and Broughton wards), contradicting the principles of keeping communities together in as few wards as possible, and that wards should reflect communities of interest. 3: It therefore suggested that the proposal should be amended as follows: Central Milton Keynes Ward should gain the Fishermead and Springfield wards of Campbell Park Parish Council, and, to maintain an appropriate size, lose Bradwell Common and Conniburrow. Page 1 of 2 This would put together the three Campbell Park Parish Council wards that have the city centre as their district centre also (for which see the Milton Keynes Local Plan and emerging Core Strategy), with the centre itself. These three wards have many other strong community links (they share secondary school catchment areas, doctors surgery areas, have overlapping primary school catchment areas, and are all part of one ecclesiastical parish, for example) Broughton Ward should gain Woolstone ward ( and lose Willen Park): this would keep together the other two wards of the Parish. 4: It noted that this would mean the abandonment of the proposed Campbell Park and Old Woughton ward. It considered that this ward was completely incomprehensible. Bolbec Park in the north had no community of interest with Springfield, nor did Springfield have any community of interest with Simpson in the south. From the report it would appear that the creation of the ward was inspired by a strong desire for the inhabitants of Woughton Park not to be associated in any way with the inhabitants of Netherfield (even though they shared many things, including a local centre, doctors and dentists - interrogate the NHS website on where the local doctors for Woughton Park are, and it will unequivocably tell you that they are all in the present and proposed Woughton ward -and ecclesiastical parish). If the LGBC wished to respect this desire, it could be achieved by adding the wards that make up Old Woughton Parish to the proposed Monkston Ward. Yours sincerely Dominic Warner Clerk to Council Page 2 of 2 Fuller, Heather From: paul cranfield Sent: 17 February 2013 16:29 To: Reviews@ Subject: Milton Keynes The Central Milton Keynes Town Council wishes to lodge its objection to the proposals to segment the parish of Central Milton Keynes, which includes Campbell Park, by linking Campbell Park with Old Woughton. Your paper itself correctly observes the lack of links between these two communities, noting that the linkage is being made to balance electoral numbers. The CMK Town Council spent much time over the past few years in seeking to establish the very close linkage between Campbell Park and CMK. This work culminated in the ceding of Campbell Park into the parish of Central Milton Keynes. CMK Town Council sees no reason why the recently acknowledged linkages between the two communities should not be fully recognised at the next level of local government now that the precedent has been set. We accept the need to achieve balance in wards where possible, but this plan rejects all the evidence placed before Milton Keynes Council that CMK and Campbell Park is one unified community and seeks to undermine the work of CMK Town Council to create a feeling of oneness following the 2011 boundary decision. Please reconsider. Paul Cranfield Clerk to CMK Town Council 1 Fuller, Heather From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 05 March 2013 13:58 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Electoral Review of Milton Keynes: Draft Recommendations From: Sent: 05 March 2013 11:56 To: Reviews@ Cc: Subject: Electoral Review of Milton Keynes: Draft Recommendations Dear Sirs Emberton Parish Council has considered the draft recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England on electoral arrangements for Milton Keynes Council. The commission were proposing that the Sherington Ward is encompassed in the current Olney Ward, changing the Olney Ward from a 2 member Ward to a 3 member Ward. Emberton Parish Council would like to object to this proposal and would like to request that the current Sherington Ward remains as it is. Yours faithfully Karen Goss Clerk to Emberton Parish Council 1 Loughton Parish Council Tuesday 5th March 2013 Archie Gall Director of Reviews Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG Dear Mr Gall Re: Consultation on the Electoral Review of Ward Boundaries of Milton Keynes Council I have been requested to write to you on behalf of Loughton Parish Council, following a meeting of the Council held on Monday 18th February 2013, which discussed the electoral review of Milton Keynes Council to deliver electoral equality for voters in local elections which is being carried out by your organisation. The meeting supported the proposed Loughton and Shenley Ward incorporating the entire Loughton Parish Council area boundary, this would seem a logical step to ensure continued closer working with the appropriate Ward Councillors, and would cause less confusion to residents as to which ward and Parish Council that they live in. If you require any further clarification as to the content of this letter please do not hesitate to contact me.

  • The Evangelical Tradition in Olney in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
    The Evangelical Tradition in Olney in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Joan McKillop, former Custodian, The Cowper and Newton Museum Nonconformist beginnings East Anglia and the East Midlands took to the Reformation and the new ideas of religion very easily; perhaps their proximity to the printing presses of The Hague and the rest of Northern Europe was a contributing factor. By the beginning of the seventeenth century the Puritan faction was well established in the area. Unease with the established church of Charles I and his Archbishop Laud expressed itself quite early in the king’s reign. In 1635 some Olney families emigrated to New England in search of religious freedom; they left in April on board the Hopewell of London, arriving in Boston in June. From Olney itself went John Cooper, Edmund ffarington, William Parryer and their families and from the neighbouring villages of Lavendon and Sherington, George Griggs and his family and two brothers, Philip Kyrtland aged 21 and Nathaniel Kyrtland 19. The oldest emigrant was 49 and the youngest 18 months. Another early migrant to America was the Vicar of Olney, William Worcester, who left in 1639. He was a Puritan and was disenchanted with Archbishop Laud and the way the Church of England was becoming increasingly High Church. He became the first minister of Salisbury, Massachusetts, remaining in that post until his death in 1662. Many families in the neighbourhood are of Huguenot descent and one of the reasons that they settled there was because of its Puritan sympathies. They migrated in three main waves between 1572 and 1685.

I have to say a thank you to Jackie and the team for doing all the work for the decorations on the second Christmas Tree on The Knoll, they have been a great joy to see every time I went past, knowing the fun that we had hanging them on the tree just before Christmas. This will be a great tradition to continue. Kevin Varty lived up to expectation with his talk in October about Northampton Witches. This was a very different talk to the Magic Lantern show Kevin gave us a couple of seasons ago, but this was just as interesting with the background of the political machinations of the time with the self-appointed Witch-Finder General Matthew Hopkins and how this linked back to the Northampton trial where a number of women and a man were tried for witchcraft of various kinds, from murder to bewitching of pigs.
